Interesting... however, I would say that yeah it could be said as Neil Sanders says here that Marx was not talking about anything other than economics and means of production and so on and that he did not go into, per se, the details of a cultural change. OK you can say that but a fundamental change is implicit in Marxism. A prolateriat dictatorship is and would be a massive cultural shift. So all these guys like Peterson have got sour grapes cos their white hetero class privelige is under threat and it's all a commie plot. Sure, there could be an element of that, I mean personally I am not even into the guy and I have only ever checked him out very briefly. You don't have to look for long to know where his is coming from. Ditto Shapiro, Alex Jones and the lot of them. Have you guys ever noticed how everything functions within a duality framework.. so you get the feminists and the gays to the fore and they start to get traction and then you got the white heteros hitting back and they get traction and everyone groups themselves around a set of leanings. So some people got suspicious about 9/11 but after a while it all morphed into an overarching grand conspiracy and before you know it it has all become a a far right conspiracy to get us all to believe that there is a commie woke conspiracy and so it goes on, and so we all keep on arguing and in that way we pass our lives. Personally I have always considered that there is basically only one conspriacy if you wanna call it that.... it is an age old thing and it has one basic formula; Divide and Rule. Perhaps that is how it is here basically. Perhaps its just human nature and its just what we do. People obey in a mechanical way their own makeup... we are not 100% conscious of what we do and we follow trends, we seek approval, we wanna be part of a gang, we need to identify with something whether it be one human tribe or another and at the end of the day it is the lack of consciousness and so much ego that leads to us to make, quite frankly, a fricking mess of this world. Now whether you wanna blame it on the commies, the fascists, the jews, the gays, the feminists, the mysoginists etc. doesn't matter just as long as you blame it on someone other than you and your group. That's how it works ain't it. I have scooted around the edges of the whole conspiracy thang for many years and yet I never got obsessed with it. I think its possible to entertain ideas without getting too identified with them but hey, it's not life really. Life is doing things, it is learning to live, be practical, have good relationships, help each other out etc. So yeah I think its good to question stuff but at the end of the day we don't know all the answers and I think we have to realize that we can't know all the answers, you just gotta get on. Anyway whatever.... I live in the so called third world, I got to put food on the table, look after the farm, care for the animals etc. We don't have so much time as people in the "first world" do to spend all our lives chewing the cud.
